London To Brighton. Harrowing at best.

Just watched the one with the shock ending where Drusilla vamps Darla. One more episode before bedtime.

Cyrene - would you *recommend* London to Brighton?
Posted on: 25 June 2007 by Cyrene
I would. It's one of those films that if you're quite sensitive to peoples feelings (like myself) then you have to maybe have a break after particularly upsetting bits.
Maybe that's just me...many films, especially well made war movies always affect me in this way and anything with kids/parents (I never actually finished In The Bedroom )
The acting by the main protagonists is superb but the writing could've allowed those actors more 'time' to develop.

just watched something a bit lighter though tonight: Scenes Of A Sexual Nature. Good fun and witty.

Thanks Cyrene - it's been on my list of films to see since I read the Guardian's highly complimentary review. I'll be sure to allow plenty of time to recover afterwards.

Wallace and Grommit in Curse of the WereRabbit.

A really cool "vegetarian" horror

Pan's Labyrinth

This is a powerful piece of cinema that should probably be an 18, rather than the 15 it has been classified as.

Best film of last year IMO.

Cyrene,

A very touching film, but one that joins a list of those that I do not watch very often - such as Schindler's List. Good film, but not one for the faint hearted.

What a film Geoff? Love the way it is for the most part a beautiful film but peppered with desperate battlefield scenes.

Hot Fuzz!

Great film that was quiet plainly made to allow Simon Pegg and his usual cohorts live out their fantasies of charging about in cars with guns. May have been a touch long but made up for it with some classic comedy moments.

watching 24 season 4.

Alan, compulsive aren't they?

We watched "£ Days of the Condor" and "Day of the Jackal" over the last couple of evenings. Both classic thrillers, the like of which do not seem to be made any more.

3 Days of the Condor, obviously. Involuntary shiftkey activation!

"My Friend Flicka" came from Amazon today! Soon to be watched. Last time was in the first house I lived in, and we moved to the next house [half a mile across the fields] in 1967! The memory of it never faded, so I hope it is a nice review when I watch it!!! I read the novel about twenty years ago, by Mary O'Hara, which I can remember nothing of now...

I have most of the films I recall from that time on DVD now...

"Deliverance". It has aged remarkably well.
